Have you ever stood on Lordship Lane on a Saturday and eavesdropped on the conversations of passers-by?


It's a steady flow of people congratulating themselves (and each other) on where they live.


Give it a go. It's a hoot! (You can pretend you're making a phone call - for cover - if you like).

Hee Hee.. as a matter of fact, I was guarding a child (our own, I hasten to add) whilst waiting for *someone* to come out of a shop. But the eavesdropping bit really was most entertaining.


The other thing I noticed for the first time were groups of tourists/out-of-towners - in abundance. Idling down the Lane, window-shopping and checking out the menus like they're on holiday in Spain or something.

how the hell did "I" get dragged into this?


tcha - but yes, more people, more coo-ing. I was in Black Cherry a few weeks back on a busy Sat night, supping some pureed chips through a straw. Mrs Mockney got talking to some Mancs an asked what they weere down for. They said just a weekend in London - so she said fair enough but why ED.. They said the area is now well know around the country as a top night out...

Seriously.. Keep an eye-out for 'em. Weekend day-trippers.

I can understand how you go to Tooting for the curry, Brixton and Clapham for the bar and club scene, Greenwich for the river, museums, markets, and Streatham for the.. er.. ok not Streatham.


But ED? Perhaps it's a new sport. Pram-dodging.

There's a woman whos on my bus when I get on at Vauxhall... Every bloomin' morning she's on her fone talk to some member of her long extended family discussing her teenage sons new girlfriend, school results, hockey team arguments before moving on to her great great aunt (twice removed) who live in the south of France who has troubles wiv her "water" :| I tell ya the things I know about that woman's life!

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
